I seemed to have severely strained my left trapezious, levator scapulous, and Rhomboid muscle in my back. I have been crying from the pain. Ice, DMARDs, and massage are just not helping. I don't do much butterfly in the pool, and when I do, it is usually towards the end of my workout and I am completely stretched and warmed up. Is this a common area to injure from butterfly? Any tips to get over this a little quicker? So far, the only way to relieve some pain is to put my arm over my head and rest it there.
Help? I hate having to stay out of the pool! :badday:

Is this a common area to injure from butterfly? No absolutely not.
Of course, if you have few flaws related to your breathing mechanics then huge levels of pressure in this region may appear and translate into an injury.
My former boss used to say - about this sort of injury - those injuries that appear real quickly like this without any apparent trauma typically go away as rapidly as they appeared.
Some stretching should help. In order to avoid this, if you do have few flaws related to breathing mechanics, you'll have to settle this.
Hope this helps
